Shaiful Islam was the only positive with the ball taking three scalps. Rilee Rossouw continued his form scoring 58 runs in 32 balls and was supported by Mithun and Mortaza but could not lead their team to victory and were left behind by 27 runs.

Team News:

Sylhet Sixers:

David Warner suffered an elbow injury in second last match and will leave for Australia on 21st January. He will play his last match for Sixers tomorrow.

Jason Roy and Wayne Parnell have been signed for the remaining season of BPL’19. Jason Roy will replace David Warner after tomorrow’s match whereas Wayne Parnell comes as a replacement for Imran Tahir.

Nasir Hossain has been left out from the squad.

Sohail Tanvir can come back in the playing XI in place of M Irfan.

Liton Das and Sabbir Rahman can open the innings. David Warner, Afif Hossain and Nicholas Pooran will follow them.

Alok Kapali, Taskin Ahmed and Sohail Tanvir will do late hitting duty.

Taskin Ahmed will be the key pacer while Sandeep Lamichhane, Alok Kapali and Afif Hossain will lead the spin attack.

Mehedi Hasan Rana can replace Al-Amin Hossain in the playing XI.

Rangpur Riders:

AB De Villiers has joined the team and can come straight into the playing XI replacing Alex Hales.

Nazmul Islam can return to the playing XI replacing Nahidul Islam or Sohag Gazi.

Place of M Maruf is also risky as he has failed to perform in all matches.

C Gayle and M Maruf (risky) can open the innings. AB de Villiers, Rilee Rossouw and Mohammad Mithun will follow them. Mashrafe Mortaza and Benny Howell will do the late hitting duty.

Benny Howell, Mashrafe Mortaza, Farhad Reza and Shafiul Islam will be the key pacers while any two among Sohag Gazi, Nahidul Islam and Nazmul Islam will lead the spin attack. C Gayle can support them.
